Aunt Su Mala smiled: "I've only heard of falling asleep on a horse, and I haven't heard of falling asleep while eating, this is rare!" "

Xiaozhuang listened very energetically, and asked Huai Sleeve to continue talking.

Huai Sleeve continued: "That's because I'm tired and ruthless, people lie on top of the rice, after a while, I dreamed that the tea was burned, and when I woke up, I found that there was still a mouthful of rice in my mouth, and when I chewed it, I found that something was wrong, it turned out that the food was fermented in the mouth, and it actually had the sweet aroma of rice wine......"

Huai sleeve said this, Xiaozhuang's eyes were deep, most of them were infected by the hard work of tea farmers, Su Malagu couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart, the hardships of the tea farmers' livelihood were really moving.

Huai sleeve continued: "I also heard my grandmother said this past, my heart was very impressed, and then after a little recognition of some words, I inadvertently turned out a book of Lu Yu's "Book of Tea" at home and read it through, and read through the tea picking and cake of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the steamed green cake tea in the Tang Dynasty, the dragon and phoenix group tea in the Song Dynasty, the steamed green loose leaf tea in the Yuan Dynasty, and the fried green loose leaf tea in the Ming Dynasty. "

Hearing these words, Xiaozhuang was fascinated, and as soon as Huai Sleeve's words fell, Xiao Zhuang stretched out his hand and pulled Huai Sleeve in front of him, and said: "Good boy, I didn't expect your little person to know so much." What you just said is what I like, you have such a delicate mind, you will chat with me more if you have nothing to do in the future, I love to listen to you. "

At first, Huai Sleeve just recalled the time when his grandmother talked about tea making, and for a while recalled the good memories of his early years, and forgot to say it, but he didn't expect that Zhengzhong Xiaozhuang's mind was suddenly praised like this, and Huai Sleeve couldn't help but blush his cheeks slightly, and quietly lowered his eyes.

Su Malagu smiled when she saw it: "Just now the ancestor said that he would be punished, but now it seems that he can't be punished!" "

Xiaozhuang heard Su Malagu mention this, and laughed: "No punishment, no punishment, not only will it not be punished, but it should be rewarded!" As he spoke, he turned to Zhu Qing and said, "Go back and give my string of red coral beads to the girl, and you can find it now." "

When Huai Sleeve heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed in surprise and thanked him.

Xiaozhuang helped the maid beside him to stand up, raised his eyes and looked, the sun had gradually risen into the sky, and said: "It's not too early, today is the Guyu Festival, the festival of peony appreciation in the palace, the emperor and the concubines are still waiting in the imperial garden, we should also pass." "

After speaking, he turned around and said to Su Malagu and Huai Sleeve: "You two will accompany me today!"

In previous years, Sister Man loved to be quiet, and always hid in the Buddhist room when she encountered such a festival, seeing that her face was less bloody, she should go out and walk around, and she should go with her girl, and she should go shopping everywhere when she enters the palace for so many days. "

After Su Malagu and Huai Sleeve bowed down to reply, they went back to their rooms to change their clothes and grooming.

If you want to drive with the garden, you have to look more solemn than usual, and Jian Yue specially selected a few skirts.

Sitting in front of the makeup mirror table with his sleeves, he asked Zhuo Qiu to comb his hair, only glanced sideways and said, "These are too gorgeous, just wear that goose yellow Su embroidered purple magnolia tribute satin flag dress." "

Juanqiu combed a simple two handfuls of hair for the sleeve, took the newly saved rose-purple palace flower from the box and put it on the sleeve, and the sleeve only glanced at it and said: "Don't want this, the gorgeous one is too dazzling, just a hosta and an emerald tourmaline tassel." "

Juanqiu had to take off the palace flowers, but couldn't help complaining: "Today, the girl accompanied the Empress Dowager to the imperial garden, and the concubines and concubines in the harem can be seen, and more importantly, it is rare to see the emperor, but the girl is dressed so plainly, isn't the scenery all taken up by others?" "

Huai Sleeve smiled: "I'm not the emperor's concubine and talented girl, what am I doing to compete for the limelight?" "

After that, he didn't rub the rouge oil, only lightly poured a thin powder on his cheeks, and then got up to change his clothes and went out.

Juanqiu looked at the pale figure who went out with his sleeves in his arms, leaned against the door and said

"Why do you think our girls are so strange? originally had an outstanding appearance, and won the favor of the Empress Dowager, but he suppressed himself everywhere, and he was also a Gege identity, could it be that he was willing to stay in this Cining Palace for a lifetime? "

Jian Yue stretched out a finger and put a little on the door of Lianqiu's head, and said angrily: "Miss Huai is not doing much, I see that it is your girl's spring heart rippling, right?" "

Jian Qiu's face was slightly red, and he said angrily: "What did Sister Jian Yue say? With that, he walked to the backyard.

In the imperial garden, the grandeur of the peonies of all colors is wanton, and the clouds are steaming under the clear sunlight that flows down with gilt samples, and the delicate colors of different faces seem to be burning brightly, and the enchanting and polymorphic appearance is just like a group of concubines and palace maids lingering among them.

When he walked into the peony garden in the imperial garden, he was presented with a prosperous scenery of Wanyan competing for spring.

Peony garden is a separate courtyard, this garden was originally left in the pre-Ming period, Ming Dynasty Xianzong Emperor Zhu Jianshen indulged in alchemy women, its pampered Wan Guifei loved peony, Zhu Jianshen to please Wan Guifei, specially from all over the folk collection of peony rare varieties to fill this garden.

Over the years, almost integrated into the world's peony items of the sum, so this peony garden is also called "Wanzhen Garden", every time the valley rains, the peony in the garden blooms one after another, it is very good-looking.

After the Qing army stationed in the Forbidden City, the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang also loved this peony garden, Emperor Shunzhi to enter filial piety, rebuilt the peony garden, led a belt of living water into a lake, named Mengyi Lake.

The lakeside has built a building pavilion adjacent to the water on three sides, Xiaozhuang has praised this pavilion when enjoying the flowers, and specially named it Tinglan Water Pavilion.

At this time, the concubines who came to enjoy the flowers were all waiting in the galleries on both sides of the water pavilion, the emperor's dragon chair and the queen mother's phoenix couch had been placed in the Tinglan water pavilion, and the phoenix of Xiaozhuang was lifted directly next to the water pavilion before falling.

Although today's peony appreciation is royal self-entertainment, Emperor Kangxi has always loved poetry and songs, so he called a few ministers who either fill in the lyrics or can play the piano on weekdays, and take advantage of this grand occasion to perform to add interest.

The concubines are also dressed in purple and red, not inferior to the color of the peony, because it is rare to be so close to the emperor, although it is not a single grace, but compared to the disgraced concubines who are not seen all day long, they are already extremely happy.

The phoenix of Xiaozhuang was carried until the front of the Tinglan Water Pavilion before falling, and the sleeves accompanied Su Malagu's side, and along the way, the palace concubines and concubines standing on both sides bowed to Xiaozhuang.

Xiaozhuang rarely interacts with the concubines of the palace on weekdays, except for the big hour, at other times, he does not care whether the concubines often ask for peace or not, and only lives in the Cining Palace and does not ask about the trivial matters of the harem.

Although the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang is so restrained, her previous majestic strategy and assistance to the kings of the two dynasties since he entered the customs with Taizu have been praised as "the suspicion of the inner fresh swallow drowning the heirs, and the external authority of the country".
